Fairburn city administrator

Jim Williams would like to see his city become an even more livable city.

Within two weeks, city officials

plan to submit an application to the Livable Centers initiative program

that could provides seed money for planning the future of Fairburn's downtown.

"We'd like to see some

cultural and residential opportunities downtown," Williams said.

Williams said the grant would

probably be around $20,000 and allow Fairburn's Planning Commission, along

with residents, develop a comprehensive plan for the downtown area.

He expects the city to learn

is successful, Williams said the planning commission will spring into

action and start developing plans for the area.

"We'd like to develop

a series of projects that would make the whole area more livable,"

Williams said.
